Message: [QUOTE="Jonathan14, post: 5265939, member: 11087"] On a positive note, there was considerable enthusiasm from the mayor and the city manager regarding women's athletics and the Wings in particular. I thought the athletes acquitted themselves well, and I liked the vision of the Wings Curt Miller was selling. Also, Paige appears to have caught up on some of the sleep she lost during the couple of weeks following the tournament, victory celebrations, and WNBA draft, when some of us noted how exhausted she looked. :) One interesting note from the press conference that I wanted to share with those who may not have watched it: A reporter asked Curt Miller if he was ever worried Paige might not sign her rookie-scale contract. He said that he wasn't. He explained that he has a lot of respect for and a longstanding working relationship with Paige's agent, Lindsay Kagawa Colas, as well as Geno and Chris. He had been in touch with them and had a clear understanding throughout the NCAA season that Paige's sole focus was on her team and winning a national championship. He trusted that Paige and her representatives were acting in good faith and would come to the table when the season was done. As they did. [/QUOTE]
